Abstract

The three authors have collaborated since 2015 to introduce self-study of teacher education practices to small group of teacher educators at a number of universities in Chile with significant support from the Santiago office of the Organización de Estados Iberoamericanos. This chapter describes the origins of the project and its several stages between 2015 and 2018, with each author’s perspective presented in turn. Transferring a significant new research methodology from one language and culture to another has proven to be both complex and engaging, inevitably proving informative and stimulating for both academic cultures. Personal experiences of each author are described as well as views of several participants. The efforts to introduce self-study are ongoing, and it has been helpful to take stock by preparing this account.
